This is my introduction to RanestRane. I decided to give this one a spin because of the theme. This is an album that
retells the story of the movie Apocalypse Now. One of the most gripping movies I ever have seen.The band uses clips of the movie. Iconic movie sound clips and quotes like "I love the smell of napalm in the morning", "The horror, the horror" and "Are you an assassin?" litter the songs and bring you back to the movie itself. But there's more. The music is absolutely great in general. Standout tracks for me are Dossier, Napalm and how it starts with Saigon. Not everything hits home for me. The Horror, for instance, doesn't bring me the atmosphere I'd expect from this vital part of the movie. Also, I believe this movie already had a perfect soundtrack, including The End of The Doors. So, I'm left wondering: why did they create this? And what does it add to our experience of Apocalypse Now? This brings me to my verdict. I rate it 3 stars. An enjoyable listen with great use of the movie material.
